Students will learn to analyze systems to identify core operating principles and technical means that introduce privacy threats, and they will learn to evaluate and mitigate privacy risks by investigating system design alternatives. Strategies to mitigating privacy risk will be based on emerging standards and reliable privacy preference data. Students will have the opportunity to study systems across a range of domains, and will learn how, and when, to interface with relevant stakeholders, including legal, marketing and other developers in order to align software design with privacy policy and law.
